# Konecto > Konecto is an events platform built first for small and mid-size trade shows and conferences (up to about 1,000 attendees): tickets, event pages, door check-in, a customisable public Konecto profile for every attendee, booth scanning, gamified challenges and exhibitor reports. Organisers run it in the Konecto organiser app, or ask Claude or ChatGPT to run it through the Konecto MCP connector. Free for free events. Konecto has no AI of its own; AI assistants operate it through the Konecto MCP server at https://mcp.konec.to. Konecto is in private beta. The API and MCP tool names may change before general availability. ## Product - [What Konecto is](https://llm.konec.to/product.md): surfaces, free core, modules, pricing, websites, attendee app - [Problems Konecto solves](https://llm.konec.to/problems.md): one entry per organiser, attendee, sponsor and developer problem ## Docs for agents and developers - [Konecto documentation](https://llm.konec.to/docs/index.md): What Konecto is, its surfaces, and where to start. - [Quickstart: sell a ticket from your own site](https://llm.konec.to/docs/quickstart.md): Get keys, show ticket availability and send a buyer to Konecto checkout. - [Core concepts](https://llm.konec.to/docs/concepts.md): Organisations, events, ticket types, orders, tickets, attendees and people. - [Konecto MCP server](https://llm.konec.to/docs/mcp/overview.md): Let Claude, ChatGPT and other MCP clients operate Konecto for an organiser. - [MCP tool reference](https://llm.konec.to/docs/mcp/tools.md): Every Konecto MCP tool, grouped by area, with the module it needs. - [Configuring event pages from an agent](https://llm.konec.to/docs/mcp/event-page.md): How agents choose templates, set themes and edit sections. - [API overview](https://llm.konec.to/docs/api/overview.md): Base URL, keys, versioning, errors, pagination and idempotency. - [Public API](https://llm.konec.to/docs/api/public.md): Browser-safe endpoints for event data, availability, checkout and attendee sign-in. - [Admin API](https://llm.konec.to/docs/api/admin.md): Server-side endpoints for events, tickets, orders, attendees, pages and modules. - [Webhooks](https://llm.konec.to/docs/api/webhooks.md): Signed events for orders, refunds, check-ins and pages. - [Drop-in components](https://llm.konec.to/docs/components/overview.md): Web components for tickets, agenda, speakers and sponsors on any site. - [TypeScript SDK](https://llm.konec.to/docs/sdk.md): Typed client for the Public and Admin APIs. - [Event pages and SEO](https://llm.konec.to/docs/event-page-seo.md): Structured data, canonical URLs and custom domains. - [Changelog](https://llm.konec.to/docs/changelog.md): API and MCP changes. ## Blog: how to run better events - [25 gamification ideas for trade shows and conferences](https://llm.konec.to/blog/event-gamification-ideas.md): Booth quests, connection goals, leaderboards and prize draws: a menu of challenges you can run at your next event, and what each one is good for. - [How to design a booth quest exhibitors will thank you for](https://llm.konec.to/blog/design-a-booth-quest.md): A booth quest can spread traffic across the whole floor, or annoy everyone.
